Why This Matters for NY Practices
Prior to 2025, many practices, especially those serving Medicaid patients, skipped RPM. But with New York Medicaid’s expanded reimbursement for code 99457, that hesitation is gone. Now, small and large practices alike can earn $1,500+ per patient annually, while delivering improved care for chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
What This Means in Numbers
Let’s do the math:
- CPT 99454: ~$60/month = $720/year
- CPT 99457: ~$50/month = $600/year
Total per patient = $1,320 annually (plus bonus from 99453/99458)
A panel of:
- 100 patients = $132,000/year
- 300 patients = $396,000/year
All without increasing office visits.
